Whilst we all slept the world imploded. A US investment bank went tits up and all followed from there. All pretence about "if" there's a recession on the way was abandoned. Now the battle was waged between those who felt the catastrophe was manageable, and others who drew dreadful comparisons with the great depression ("even in the great depression of the 1930's" was a much touted prelude to some latest news of meltdown.)
Despite all this the traffic in Oxford managed to keep flowing, and I met S right on time. At least, I was there on time. He was still in bed. Good lad! He is a cocky shite far too talented for his own good, far too self confident, and I have to say I liked him straight away. A good learner too, should be an interesting week.
Apre S, to J in Hazlemere. An attractive and happy black girl, who had had ten hours of lessons, but was very erratic worryingly so at times. She has booked 20 hours and wants a test at the end. I sensed her attitude changed as I didn't offer to book a test straight away. Will have to talk her through that next time.
Got home and H and Emsy had been out visiting schools, unbenownst to me. Full credit to H,a greatperformance. She had visited "Becky Secky" and met the HM, and was dead impressed, as was Emsy. Snag is, we need to be in catchment which means.
Buy ourselves a pace there and move into it, or rent somewhere for six months until Emsy is established in school. A tricky decision with the housing market set to implode.
Off for the usual in the evening, the Falcon as depressing as ever.Oddly on my way out a column of schoolchildren, perfectly behaved with a hubub of subdued excitement, at least 100 strong, were making theirway along the High Street. They seemed far too young to be up.They were shephereded by a woman carrying half a dozen helium balloons bearing the legend "Hapy Birthday"
No financial crisis for Paul Macartney or his estranged missus. Paul gets to cling onto 800 million quid of his nest egg, whilst Lady Macca (is she still "Lady?) has to slum it with only £25m to tide her over. Oh fuck!
